MH370: Pressure builds for search to resume

Relatives of the passengers and crew lost on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 are urging authorities to resume the search for the missing plane.

Sheryl Keen, of the international victims' advocacy group Voice370, said she will personally hand Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai letters from relatives during his visit to Perth this week, Yahoo News reports.

She said: "The general content is urging him to continue the search. I do believe some of them are quite heartfelt and others are quite brief."

Voice370 said it will continue its appeal for Malaysia and Australia to resume the search for the plane, which was called off last week.

It said: "A quick decision to extend the search would avoid the immediate demobilisation of the equipment on board the search vessel, Fugro Equator, and additional costs at a later date for mobilisation of vessels."

Flight MH370 vanished with 239 people on board on 8 March 2014, after deviating from its scheduled course during a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.
